I've recently obtained my concealed carry permit and have been debating and researching over pistols, figured I would ask here. I'm not new to firearms completely, so I've narrowed my wants down a bit and also kind of narrowed some of my other choices down.
I've fired xD's before, I like them, but if anyone has input on things other than xD's I'd love to hear it. I'm pretty set on my first being a .40 SW, but I'm floating back and forth between Springfield, Walther, and Sig Sauer (s') various models. As it is going to be my first concealed carry, I'd like it to be compact enough that it's not noticeable, but I've held a Ruger LCP before and I am completely uncomfortable with the idea of a "compact" pistol that not all of my meat hooks fit on the grip. I also want a pistol of good quality that the slide isn't going to rust if I wear it to go to the range and back home. Price is an issue as in any case, but not including prices in any of your opinions, any feedback or recommendations are welcome.
Thanks! (If there was a previous topic I haven't found yet, a link would be nice, or if this is in the wrong sub-forum let me know)
